The point there is that most of the underlying user space plumbing of modern Linux system is in fact funded by Red Hat in one way or another.

(And in this context it is probably useful to realize that on the kernel side of things the amount of funding from Red Hat and IBM is comparable)

If that's true, maybe we should stop relying so much on a single company like RedHat. Maybe we need to stop making so many distributions, and instead focus on the tools everybody use.
